Back to Australia

My sister and her wonderful family are heading home after an 80 day stay in the states... Had a good time!

Mount Elbert, here I come!

In two weeks, Lord willing, for the second time in my life, I'll be scaling Mt. Elbert, the second highest peak (14,433', or some say 14,440') in the lower 49 states, behind California's Mt Whitney (14,497, or some say 14,505'), and the highest parcel of land in Colorado.

I hiked this peak with the Auburn University swim team back in 1995, at age 17, the half-way point of my life, and am quite excited to do it again this time. I hope to pass on some comments and photos en route, but If you're interested, here are a couple shots:
